Welcome!

A warm welcome from the School of Nursing genetics website. This site is intended to be used by all healthcare professionals and specifically nurses, midwives and health visitors practitioners, teachers of nursing, and students. It has been designed to provide various links which, we feel is relevant, appropriate and user friendly. In terms of depth of the material, it is hoped that each individual will be able to determine their own level of knowledge as guided by their study or practice.

For our students on the existing Diploma in Nursing course and post registration courses, we have specified the content and learning outcomes for the various modules.

To keep the website “live”, we intend to provide the latest news in the world of genetics i.e new advances in genetic research, new discoveries in relation to genetic disorders, minutes of meetings, conferences etc.

Hope that you would find the website interesting. Any comments about the website, please send via the suggestion box.
